- Continuing Care: The inpatient caregiver meets the needs of the elderly or sick person constantly by being with them. This allows for rapid response in situations such as emergencies or unexpected health problems.
- Security: The inpatient caregiver is always with the elderly or sick person to ensure their safety. For someone who is home alone or has difficulty moving, this helps them feel safe.
- Help and Support: The caregiver assists the elderly or sick individual with daily activities and personal care. It meets daily needs such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and meal preparation, and supports housework.
- Peace and Comfort: The elderly or sick individual may feel more peaceful and comfortable due to the constant presence of an inpatient caregiver. The presence of a caregiver provides social support and can reduce feelings of loneliness.
- Comfort for the Family: The residential caregiver reduces the worry of family members about caring for the elderly or sick individuals. Family members can be relieved when the caregiver provides ongoing care while they fulfill their work, daily life, and other responsibilities.
The residential caregiver may also have disadvantages. For example, there may be situations such as sharing space in the home or limiting privacy. Also, in terms of cost, the caregiver may have a higher cost than other options. Therefore, it is important to evaluate according to your needs and preferences.
